The Importance of Referrals
The very best drivers are the ones referred to us by our current drivers, hands-down. No one wants to put their “stamp of approval” on someone who may be a problem, no matter what the “bonus” is for referring them. I’ve found, for that reason alone, our referred drivers tend to be high-quality applicants. The driver who refers the applicant also becomes a valuable resource for the new team member, helping them learn the new company ways.
Because we appreciate our drivers sending us other good drivers, we are offering a $2000 referral bonus! Send us qualified, first-seat drivers, and earn some extra $$!!
“Click it or Ticket”
You 
might see more blue lights on the road as area law enforcement agencies continue the “Click it or Ticket” campaign.
Local, county and state police will increase their patrols through June 3 and issue citations to drivers not wearing seat belts.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said almost half of the people who were killed in car accidents in 2016 were not wearing seat belts.
Lt. T.J. Rennie, with the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, said the solution is simple.
“I don’t know why you wouldn’t wear a seat belt to start with, it’s there to protect you and help save your life,” Lt. Rennie said.
‘Click it or Ticket’ coincides with the unofficial start of summer, which is considered one of the busiest times for driving.
The American Automobile Association predicts upwards of 36-million people will be traveling this holiday weekend.
So being a commercial driver this is not an option, we are the professionals out there on the road and should always set the example.
Memorial Day
W
e are getting close to the Memorial Day weekend. Take a moment from your burgers and hotdogs and just think of the ones that will never be with there family or friends on this day to enjoy the fun that you are having. Give a moment of silence for the service men and women that did not make it back and for their family. Be safe out there and enjoy you weekend!
Life on the Road – Cooking in the Truck
Eating on the road can be a challenge. If you eat at the truck stops, you are going to spend a lot of money and probably not have the healthiest choices! If you don’t have any cooking devices in your truck, you will be limited to eating cold food, like sandwiches and cereal…not a very sustainable diet! I recently came across The Truckers Cookbook website. Looks like some pretty good ideas!
